Pretty boring considering we kick it off in 3 days

Where is all the chatter? No comments on Dilella winning the starting job. No predictions? Where are you Dane96 and Danefan???

I'm just looking forward to seeing the game Thursday. I think hurricane Earl will not affect the game. It's always interesting to see how the players who step into starting roles perform in their first game. I hope we have some receivers who can get open to take some pressure off the running game.

Will this game be online anywhere?

They do a live broadcast according to Maine's game notes.

 

Looking at the game notes I think we match up very well physically with them. They arent huge up front like UMASS was last year and they run the ball. Lets see who has the faster skill players.

Trying to squeeze something out of the last days of summer.

 

Is the season starting too early when the gametime temp will be nearly 90 degrees in Maine?

I've been under the weather for a week or so now (recovering from sinus surgery), but for some reason I'm just not all that excited. I don't know why. Hopefully that will change in the next few days if I start feeling better.

 

I hope this game gets picked up on channelsurfing.

 

Just doesn't quite feel like football season yet. Weird.

Everyone is picking Maine but they dont seem like they are that big of a deal. Maine IMHO is beatable. That team in Texas is a different story.

Probably because we beat them last year. No more aura of the team from the superior league vs. the non-scholarship upstart.

 

That team in Texas is a different story.

Probably, but we'll see.

I picked Maine but that was before Maine decided to go back to Smith at QB. He wasn't very good against us last year so that's a good thing for us that they chose him. The kid who lost the kob had a heck of a year last year in the CAA. I was scared to go against him.

I'm hoping Texas A&M softens them up a bit, and they look past us to the UNI game. Also hoping we get through Thursday in good health.
